Monday, April 26 ♥

Last saturday marks my first appearance on tv, and i've never imagined myself going into vasantham to make that first appearance. who wud have thought. hahah. and it's not like as if i was doing a singing performance or anything, which i'm more inclined to, or perhaps acting, which i might possibly be doing, but this was dancing, which i don't think i'm very capable of doing. I've never seen myself as a "dancer".

Well this was indeed a very challenging experience. It's for Mr Vasantham by the way. Like a manhunt kinda thing. Firstly, it's a tamil programme, and obviously they all converse in tamil, and i wont understand a single word they say, apart from vanakem. Secondly, i partnered with one of the contestants, who actually chose a song genre which i'm not exposed to, which is an Indian Folk dance. While the rest breezed through their modern/hip hop/ballad numbers, we struggled with our fast beats of 'bhangra' influenced moves.

We had only a week to practice. I was only alerted on the previous sunday that i had to come down for rehearsals the following day. A colleague of mine was actually the one who pulled me in. Coz they cudnt find enough dancers/models for this act. So i accepted blatantly like it was somekind of a funfair to me. But not until i attended the first rehearsal when i see everyone else practicing so diligently for their respective items.

Getting the steps all done, was not it. I HAD TO MIME THAT SONG TOO. Like, shiiiitt??? So fine, i listened to the song and try to get the words right. And so i did =)

So everything went really fast like from rehearsals to costumes fitting to make up to 'own-done' hairdo and to the actual show itself. Thank god all went well. The judges liked it the most. phew.

But what a way to end it. I actually fell down backstage. This seriously wont be a joke anymore. It has become a norm for me already. i really dont know why. That thing, which i thought was a WALL, turned out to be just a hanging huge black cloth. I actually wanted to support myself by holding on to it. So you can now imagine how it was like. hahahaah. yah in that blinking rich stunning gold dress summore. so bloody unglam.

But i must say it was really a wonderful 1 week for me, coz i've met new nice friends, and experience myself being on a live telecast tv show, and learning tamil of course hahah.

Err i'm performing again this coming sat, soo mediacorp is currently my 3rd home.

I've bumped into a few artistes, like sezairi. Now i really wish to bump into hady mirza, seriously.
